Frankly, I do not see what the fuss is all about with reference to your front page cover story this week (“RIBA comes under fire for hosting ’bonkers’ 9/11 talk”).

There have been many books written and many documentaries made about the reasons for the Twin Towers’ collapse. Most of them were written and made by serious professionals and specialists with in-depth engineering analysis that still raises doubt about the official explanation for the collapse of the buildings (and WTC 7 nearby).

It is inevitable that any such serious questioning would be dressed up for political gains (or losses), especially in the era of an America led by the Bush administration that was insistent on going to a war despite world public opinion to the contrary.

Two planes causing the collapse of three massive buildings? Doubtful. Political dressing up? Leave this to future historians.

Any organisation that exhibits the questionable visual design skills responsible for the “poster” you printed on your front page doesn’t deserve to be taken too seriously!
